There's a small percentage of people (5-10% if i remember correctly) who do not respond to the vaccine (they do not create antibodies therefore are not immune).  They are called non-responders. Unfortunately, you may be a non-responder.

the vaccine works for ppl who are not infected with HBV,ppl with acute or chronic hep b dont benefit from the vaccine. with 3 separate shots, a person becomes immune to hep b. but it isnot working for u, so i said that is rare
